I was raised Catholic...and I want to believe so bad. But I get more of the science part of the universe. I (almost) refuse to let myself belive in something I can't see or prove. Is it ok to question?

other three, they said---oh this guy's Gospels are different-- he isn't saved but, he was an Apostle so we'll stick it in there but, it is different so it is questionable.

This is the difference between the synopotic Gospels and John's---The Catholic

If so you should listen to the Mosaic podcast.

http://www.mosaic.org/podcast/

It is a Christian podcast, though the preacher isn't "preachy" and all of you atheists will probably find him quite entertaining.

when someone comes up to u and asks u to "debate with them about God" what should you do? i thought about it after a recent experience and concluded that it is not a Christian's responsibility to debate with people. (for those are just wishing to prove their so called "superior intellect" over people so foolish as to believe in a God, and have no intention of ever seeking God) we only have the responsibility of answering to the best of our ability the questions of people truly curious about God. or am i wrong? plz answer my brothers and sisters...

"Common negative perceptions include that present-day Christianity is judgmental (87%), hypocritical (85%), old-fashioned (78%), and too involved in politics (75%)...

"One of the most frequent criticisms of young Christians was that they believe the church has made homosexuality a 'bigger sin' than anything else."

"A decade ago the vast majority of Americans outside the Christian faith, including young people, felt favorably toward Christianity’s role in society. Currently, however, just 16% of non-Christians in their late teens and twenties said they have a "good impression" of Christianity...The ...study shows that only 3% of 16- to 29-year-old non-Christians express favorable views of evangelicals."

WHAT ARE THE BEST RESPONSES AVAILABLE TO THOSE WHO REMAIN IN THE CHURCH?

There are many questions here that seem to be mainly for the purpose of airing a viewpoint on the part of the questioner, and the purpose seems to be mainly for you to agree with him or her. Do you avoid answering such questions?

Do you avoid answering questions where the questioner is obviously hostile to your viewpoint and you feel sure that he or she will not listen? Or do you answer questions that you feel you know the answer to regardless of how the answer will be perceived?

Just curious. Thanks!

Well, I am an atheist but I admire some of the characteristics of religious people. Most of them are honest and polite. I wonder how well they would do in politics? At least I am expecting them to be honest -- no corruption, or ganging up on someone. Of course then we have to contend with things like stem cell research and bible in schools, but maybe it would be worth it if it cleans up the political system.

and differentiate them from God? It seems that they do not understand that the laws aren't just constraints. They are the basic reality that allows us to operate. They define the possibilities. Even if we are in the supernatural, in the domain of God, nothing is possible without order, without intelligence, without laws.

Clearly, the Christians do not believe that God is chaotic, without order. They believe that He is intelligent, expresses order, etc. As total and unlimited as he can be, His intelligence is the expression of some laws. These laws must always have been with God, because He was eternally intelligent.

Moreover, there cannot be two set of fundamental laws, the laws of nature and the laws of God. Otherwise,. even more fundamental laws would be needed to connect them, which would be a contradiction with the nature of God. So, the fundamental laws behind God are the fundamental laws of nature. There is only one ultimate reality and that is God eternally with the laws.

I am Hindu and always respected other religions...but how do you feel about all the religions out there other than yours?

Do you feel your religion is true? Do you belive other religions are true? WHat is your religion? WHat do you have to say about the people who worship Jesus CHrist, Allah, Guru Nanak, Vishnu, etc? Do you think that some people are trying to force others to convert their religion in the U.S.?

If God is all powerful and all good, then Satan must be a part of God...but if Satan is sepearte, then God obviously has a piece of the universe he can't control. So is God good, bad...or both?

A show called Reaper, about Satan himself. A show called Moonlight, about a vampire who is a creature of Satan. Supernatural, with Satanic elements all over it. Why have we let Satan take control? Should good Christian people stop watching television to stop Satan's tricks?

spreading the word of God

Can you imagine, if that's all that all humans did during life, so it was just a big circle of evangelizing (and basically redundant), THEN what would be the meaning of life beyond that? There has to be more to life than just being a SALESMAN!

Furthermore, isn't having no other purpose than being a "vessel" just being USED?
